System of a Down, often shortened to SOAD or System, is a four-piece Armenian-American rock band formed in 1994 in Glendale, California, in the United States. The band currently consists of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (vocals, guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals) and John Dolmayan (drums).
The band achieved commercial success with the release of five studio albums, three of which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, and their song "B.Y.O.B." won the Best Hard Rock Performance of 2006. The group went on hiatus in August 2006 and reunited in November 2010, embarking on a tour for the following three years. System of a Down has sold over 40 million records worldwide.
Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian attended Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School as children, although due to their eight-year age difference they did not meet until 1992 while working on separate projects at the same recording studio. They formed a band named Soil with Tankian on vocals and keyboards, Malakian on vocals and guitar, Dave Hakopyan (who later played in The Apex Theory/Mt. Helium) on bass and Domingo "Dingo" Laranio on drums. The band hired Shavo Odadjian (another Rose and Alex Pilibos alumnus) as manager, although he eventually joined Soil as rhythm guitarist. In 1994, after only one live show, and one jam session recording, Hakopyan and Laranio left the band, feeling that it was not going anywhere.
A ring on her finger, a voice in her touch
Her memory will linger leaving it's spot
You're not the only one to know what I'm going through
Now I'm the lonely one 'cause I'm still in love with you
The ring on her finger, pain in her heart
A love that will linger there from the start
You're not the only one who knows what I'm going through
You're not the only one, you did what you had to do
There's a ring on her finger but she isn't you
I put a ring on her finger but she isn't you
You came along and slipped into my heart
You came along and ripped my world apart
You're not the only one to know what I'm going through
Now I'm the lonely one 'cause I'm still in love with you
There's a ring on her finger but she isn't you
Ring on her finger, she isn't you
Ring on her finger but she isn't you
Ring on her finger
There's a ring on her finger but she isn't you
Ring on her finger, she isn't you
Ring on her finger, she isn't you
Ring on her finger but she isn't you
Ring on her finger but she isn't you
Ring on her finger but she isn't you
Ring on her finger, she isn't you
Ring on her finger, she isn't you
